Seeking 1986 Fleer Basketball Graded Card Carrying Case

Hagaman42 · 08-17-2025, 03:00 PM

Occasionally at some card shows I have seen people who have either built or are building the 1986 Fleer Basketball set carrying them in a 1986 Fleer Basketball card carrying case and I am now seeking one myself, any information would be greatly appreciated.

There is a lot of ways to go with this. There are slab ready cases, dependent on what you plan to do with it. Are you constantly on the move for your job? Is it going into a home safe for long term? Do you plan on leaving it on a shelf to show friends & family?

Obviously the Pelican Case is the route the hobby has taken. Most you have to do is customize the foam inside which isn't too difficult. I know some have had success in buying from a store like Harbor Freight. Zion cases are Pelican-like cases that are slab ready. I'd check them out. I'm sure someone else can chime in for other hobby companies.

Another option are acrylic boxes that hold slabs. I think more of a display type holder. Pretty simple and straightforward with those. I'd check Ultra Pro but I'm sure Amazon and eBay have some.

Finally, binders & pages are a thing. I've seen zipper binders used. GL with your search!

I’ve seen these in the past and they look cool to store in with the 86 fleer theme

There's a couple guys in the 86 Fleer FB group that make and sell these

Looks cool. But..Hmm, I wouldn't advertise what I had in a case I was carrying...

It is very nice though, for storing at home.
